Doommaker

Old Mans Child's song 'Doommaker' delves into themes of darkness, destruction, and the supernatural. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world engulfed in shadows as the night takes over. The opening lines set a foreboding tone, with the evening light fading and a shadow covering the earth, symbolizing the encroaching darkness and the loss of hope. This imagery is further intensified by the call to 'bury the surface' and 'possess the night's dark,' suggesting a complete takeover by malevolent forces.

The song introduces a powerful, almost demonic figure who claims to be the 'master of decease' and the 'pain that grows within your soul.' This character is portrayed as a harbinger of doom, bringing about the end of the world. The lyrics 'I am this world's doom maker' emphasize the character's role in orchestrating global destruction. The mention of 'spawn of Satan' and the gathering of these dark forces to 'set this world in flames' adds a layer of apocalyptic imagery, suggesting a cataclysmic event driven by evil entities.

The chorus shifts from 'I' to 'we,' indicating a collective force of destruction. The 'seeds of fire spreading in the wind' metaphorically represent the unstoppable spread of chaos and despair. The repeated assertion that 'we are the master of decease' and 'we are this world's doom maker' reinforces the idea of an inevitable downfall orchestrated by these dark beings. The song's overall tone is one of inevitable doom, with the forces of darkness prevailing over any semblance of light or hope.
